AIR CURRENTS IN THE ROOM

 

The cooking area is subject to different air currents

caused by the movement of people or open doors and

windows. These factors must be considered for an

optimum hood function.

The function of the hood is to draw air from the room,

so it is necessary to ensure there is a good supply of

fresh air from the outside. In order not to interfere

with the correct operation of the hood, the current of

fresh air should not move sideways towards the hood

because it would have the effect of driving away the

fumes before they can be absorbed by the metal grease

lters.

Cooking fumes rise naturally towards the hood but are

only accelerated towards the area’s suction at a distance

of about 100–150 mm from the hood. Up to that point,

the heat of the fumes plays an important role. The

higher the temperature, the faster they rise.

If during this phase the ow of the fumes is disturbed

by lateral air currents, it will be pushed away from the

hood and spread into the room. In this case steam is

not the problem because it will be absorbed by the

replacement air, but the particles of fat could be

deposited on surrounding furniture and the cooking

aromas will not be properly captured.

To get the best possible effectiveness, the airow must

always be directed towards the hood and be generated

by the suction fan itself. Windows and doors in the

immediate vicinity of the hood should remain closed.
